Happy Thanksgiving from the Borchardt's in Brazil 
 
Dear Ministry Friends and Partners,
 
We want to wish you a BLESSED and HAPPY Thanksgiving day today!  As we all reflect in our lives God's blessing and faithfulness on this day we celebrate with thankfulness the goodness of the LORD in this past year. Many of us have faced trials and struggles that we did not expect, but as we look to the LORD we know He is is control and we can TRUST him through it all.  Thanksgiving is a moment to reflect and truly recognize God in our lives. I believe His strength has kept you and I, and that His Presence has intervened in our lives in ways we may know or have understood now, but we can have assurance that his LOVE has kept us all.
 
Brazil does not have Thanksgiving holiday today, but we are celebrating with you today!  For Brazilians its just another working Thursday, but today we are cooking the traditional Thanksgiving meal and have invited about 20 people over for dinner to share with us.  

We want you to know that we are so THANKFUL for you in your support and prayers. Yesterday marked the 8 week mark since we have arrived in Brazil. We are pretty much settled and have some great reports to share with you. We are looking forward to getting the next newsletter out to you in the next 10 days or so.  We hope you will be excited and happy to read about the things God has been doing and we are gearing up for here in Brazil.  
Hugs and Love,

Michel, Debora, Isabella, Sophia and Giovanna
